WASHINGTON, May S.—Moro than
40 German warships havo been attacked successfully by British submarines:
This was disclosed by an official
British statement received here and

the most extensive ever received in this
country of tlie work of the British
underwater craft concerning tho activities of which little news has reached America since their famous raids
in the Dardanelles and the Baltic sea.
Various exploits of individual craft
are recounted. In many instances the
submarine commanders have threaded
their way through dangerous minefields to seek out their quarry and so
successful -have they been in penetrating the defenses of the German
coast that the report notes that the
enemy rarely allows his abovewater
craft beyond the confines of his harbors."

1  Paper Tells of State of Disorganization in Revolutionary
Und.
(liy Dally News teased Wire.)
PARIS, May S.—Descriptions of the
intense suffering and the demoralized
conditions in Russia appear today in
the Figaro, which reprints reports received from' several Russian sources.
A former Russian officer writes as fol-
W*l	
'•No words can describe the terrible
living conditions in Russin. Tho chaos
of tho timo of Kerensky appears today,
as we look back on It, like an epoch
of perfect order. Men of all classes
today would j,ro to any extreme to rid
themselves of tho Bolshevlkl and their
tyranny. Villagers are despoiling the
whole country, ln the absence of allied aid in the reestablishment of order the working men and peasants are
compelled to appeal to Germany oven
though German aid may mean German
domination."
Commenting on this letter, Pollbc
says: '
Those unfortunate Russians must
live. Thoso who call themselves the
last of the Russians, the liberal Left
nnd tho great war chiefs, are turning
toward Siberia and tbe Orient. They
arc tho backbone of Russia. All Russia that docs not want German aid
and domination turn toward -Japan. JC
Japan would act to meet these Russian
leaders a renaissance would come to
tlie great empire.
"Japan must act in this matter in
cooperation with her allies, because of
the insufficiency of her national resources, but if Japanese intervention
does not come, Germany will overrun
Siberia, utilize her resources ond raw
materials. There is no time to lose.
Japanese Intervention Is Imperative If
Russia is to be saved. If Germany
onco gets Into Siberia It will.be too
late for Japan. A thousand obstacles
would then be there to keep the Japanese army from landing. What would
the allies say then to these Russians
who are now looking to Japan for
help?"

(By Associated Press.) -•'
What possibly may provo to be tto*#
prelude to the long expected resumption of hostilities hy the Germans on
tho western front is helng1 played,
southeast of Ypr«s, from the region of.
Voormezeele to Laclytte, the Germans
havo launched an attack against tha
British and French troops holding tho
line and at certain points over tti»
five-mile battle front they havo met
with some success by penetrating
front line trenchos. Apparently,
however, over tho greater part of tho
field of combat they met with repulse;
As is usual, the enemy began tho
attack after a heavy preliminary bom-
bnrtlmont, The ground gained rio
south of Dickobush lake and in Ridgn
wood, 'around which places hard' fighting was continuing at last accounts.
Eye on Yprea
The objective of the enemy Rcmfl
to he the pushing forward of his lino
in this region In order still further to
outflank Ypres on the southwest and
pressed on toward Poeperlnghe and
the railway line running between that
town and Ypres.
As yet, only meagre advices have
come through concerning tlie natuh*
of the engagement, but unofficial reports indicntc thnt it was made only
In divisional strength. Whether it
wuuld develop later into another of
tho great battles that have been
fought in this area could not be foretold.
On the remainder of the.;.'front tn-v
Flanders and Plcardy, artillery duels
and small operations continue on
isolated sectors. The French, south
of Laclytte, have ponotratod German
advanced positions and taken prisoners, and tiie Australians, east bt!
Amiens, hnvo again pitched In and
taken ovor portions of the German
lines. The artillery activity has hO^tt
particularly heavy on both banltH
of tho Avro, southwest of Amiens, and:
on the sector In Plcardy held by thw

Legislation      Designed      to      Protect
Public   Against   Buying
Hun Goods
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, May S.—Senator Lynch
Staunton's bill for the identification
of traders In German goods was given
a second reading in the sonale today
and its details will be considered in
committee tomorrow. This bill which
is designed to protect tho public
against dealers who may seok to sell
Gornuin goods as the product nf
Canada, Great Britain or of any allied
or neutral country, would, if it passed
both houses in Canada, be tbe most
advaneed legislation of that 'character
thus far adopted by any allied
country.
Tbe debate which preceded tbe
second reading was made notable by
a speech by Senator Roche of Halifax, wlio warmly opposed the bill and
declared that when the war was over
Germany would become Canada's best
trading customer. This remark drew
a storm of protest from all sides of
tho houso and was subsequently repudiated by other senators who participated in tills discussion.
Senator Roche said that he opposed
the bill on three grounds. Ho believed
thnt it would result iu penalizing the
people of Canada; that It would be an
unfriendly and hostile act antagonistic to efforts to promote conthnmnce,
of peace a( tho conclusion of the war]
and, finally, ir would not succeed in
diminishing trade with Germany.
After the war, said Senator' Roche,
It would be inevitable that "Germany
should become one of the, main customers of Canada. Tho enft of tha
war would'see the outbreak of a, commercial struggle. The United States
would then control tiio financial arid
commercial world. Sho had the Iron
and tlie coal and tho factories to mako
goods, she would have tho shipping ta
carry her goods to all parts of tho
world and she would be the great
centre of international finance. Tlw
United States, under the circumstances, would not' want " Canadian
goods, nor did England longer hold out
to us the prospect of a trade preference. After the war she will be compelled to trade more and more w^t"h.
the United States. Where, then*
would Canada send hor trade?
Senator Pierre said that he disagreed absolutely with' the cancel
conclusions of Senator Roche. Hfc' believed the bill expressed the sentiment of tbe majority of CflhadianA' *
Senator Nieholls snid that dn the
anniversary of the sinking of the
Luwitauia. many Canadians would

PEACE  BY  NEGOTIATION
(By Daily News Leased Wire.)
LONDON, May 8.—In tho houso of
lords today a debate arose on tho pacifist agitation, in tho course of which
tho Marquis of Lansdowne reiterated
his opinion that peace would nover
come except by negotiation. ThOBO
expecting that peace would come
through a knockout blow, ho said, wore
unable to toll tho country how that
blow would be delivered, or the cost of
dolivei'ing it.
CURE DEBATE
Continued from Page One.)
Tremblay, Mr. Maclean said that the
5 cents a pound excise duty on Canadian grown tobacco would be paid
by manufacture™ and dealers.
From the taxes on sleeping car
berths nnd parlor ear chairs the minister estimated the revenue at $130,-
000. He stated that jewelry was defined us articles Intended for personal
adornment,
Hon. John Oliver, premier of British Columbia, who was a visitor at the
capital, occupied a seat on the floor
of the house during a pnrt of the afternoon  sitting.
Wants Further Taxes.
Col, J. A. Currie, North S.mcoe, declared that the budget wns not a Union government budget. There had
been careful avoidance of placing a
tax on Canadiun-made goods, he said,
and this was not good policy on the
part of the government. Ho thought
that a system of taxation should have
beon adopted which would have fallen
as equally as possible. Adding substantial percentage to customs taxation, Col. Currie thought the sum of
$80,000,000 could have been obtained
and the people would hardly notice It,
"We must not be above paying a
tax on imports because one or two
members of this side are free traders,"
continued Col. Currie.
Col. Currie then made reference to
the various commissions appointed in
this country, characterizing them as
'•-top-logs in the current of Canadian
trade, No man .who wus a profiteer
and had been in the shell game and
tho peanut game should be a member
of any commission, he said.
Col. Currie urged iho development
of Canadian industries. Canada, *he
said, imported every year from ?600,-
000,000 to $250,000,000 worth of stuff
which could be made in Canada,
"What do wo get? Australia gets
the German empire in the Pacific,
South Africa gels two empires, Egypt
gets Palestine; every country is going
to be indemnified except Conadu. The
United States is looking for world
trade. The only way we can get any
indemnity is ta get a business indemnity."
"t thought," remarked MY. 'Lemieux, "we were fighting for Ideals
aiid not for business."
"We are fighting for Idea's," replied
Col. Currie, "and one of the ideals is
parliamentary freedom-.* A remark
which aroused loud applause from the
opposition,
Col. Currie said this was no time to
quibble .over free trade and protection. Here In Canada everybody smarted yelling when the. munition manufacturers made a little . profit. He
thought the country owed a. debt of
gratitude to the director of every Canadian company.
Col. Cuirie regarded the railway situation In Canada us more dangerous
to tilt Dominion than the war of the
lOmperor of Oermany. Had Canada
it the beginning of the war followed
the example of Great Britain and
pluced the railways under central control there would have been a great
mprovement. A great Canadian like
Lord Shan glint-say, at the head of the
railways In Canada, would have established a tradition of honesty and of
loyalty to the roads in their administration.
"A strong effort is being made,"
said Col. Currie, "to see that the consolidated railway companies of Cun-
ida are put under tho control of Sir
William Mackenzie, as general manager. I say that the people of Canudu
will raise a rebellion if such a thing
ever takes place."
Tiie food situation he described as
terrible and he urged fixing of. a
maximum price on food commodities.
He deplored the intricacy of the relations governing food and advocated
their 'simplification in u way like that
adopted in the United States.
D. A. La Fortune, Jacques Cartier,
concluded the budget debate.
During consideration of the business profits tux in committee, Sir
Herbert Ames protested against the
rate of taxation on business profits us
it placed Canadian business at a disadvantage as comprcd with American
concerns. *
The budget resolutions were all
passed nnd bills based upon them introduced and given first readisg.
The house adjourned at .1:30 a.m.

GERMANS FAIL TO
TRICK AMERICANS
(By Associated Press.)
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE.—By Mail.—Thu German attack against tho American positions
on tho right bunk of this Mouse, north
of St. Mihiel, yesterday, was made by
il force of 400 picked troops who were
recently brought there from ihe Russian front. Although the Americans
were outnumbered more than two to
one, they completely repulsed ■. the
enemy, driving him back to his own
trenches. Tho known enemy casualties include 64 dead, many wounded
and 11 prisoners, besides a number of
wounded who wore drugged back to
the German lines by their comrades.
Hun Trickery Failed
The Germans attempted to deceive
tho Americans by appoarlng in front
of the trenches and speaking French
and English, and also yelling "Gas."
The deception, however, was soon discovered and cost the enemy dearly.
Tho American casualties were comparatively slight.
Numerous stories of individual bravery poured Into the headquarters today.
A young Itallun, ,born in a Pennsylvania coal mining town, killed one
German and captured three. He saw
eight Germans walking in a communication trench ahead of him and, although alone, he shot and killed one
and rai\ after the others, capturing
two and wounded some of those who
escaped. Ho then returnod to the
American line, and turned over the
prisoners to a noncommissioned officer, and coolly asked for a match.
Prisoner for a Match
Tho officer jokingly said: "I'll give
you a match if you'll bring in another
prisoner." The Italian, who Is only Ei
foet 4 inches, went back over tho
parapot. Ho returned In less than
five minutes, walking with drawn
bayonet bohind a six-foot German
who was yelling "Kamerad!"
A few minutes later it was roported
that 10 Germans wero lying in a machino gun nest in no man's lund. The
Italian started for the spot alone, but
ho was- ordered back by the commander of the unit, who later sent a
detachment of mon to -rout out tho
enemy, which they did.
Americans Eager to Go on Raids
The   prisoners   captured   by   the
Americans wero  mostly   young  men

Dear Sirs**—
I don't think there was ever anybody, man, woman or child, who
was or is more constipated than my little three year old boy was. .kWhy,
sir, he was so bad before we got him the Nujol that we would Have to
leave his bowels unmoved for three or four days, then use almost a quart
of Water in a syringe to move them. The poor little fellow would almost
go into spasms and his father could never stay in the room where he was;
it Would take almost an hour's work to get them to move.
'He T»ad been constipated for two years. / think these patent
medicines did it: I have known the doctor tobe here and give him five
tablespoons1 of' castor oil, one every half hour, to get his bowels to
mover We tried four different doctors, one a well known specialist, but
none could help him- Three advised operations, said it was the only
cure; 1 have always hada-horror of operations and I guess always will.
..'• We were' going to try a well known woman doctor who claims she
cures without an operation, when I coaxed my husband to let" me try
Nujol.'1. 1 had read so much about it, I told him even if it didn't help him,
it would toot hurt. We tried ;it, started' giving'him three tablespoonfuls
a day, one-after'each meal, then-ashis bowels moved better we decreased
the dose as -per, directions. We used two bottles and half and we cured
him. How thankful We wer-5; tears come to my eyes, even now, when
I think of how that poor little fellow suffered. Just think, a little tot,
hardly able to talk plainly!   He has hot taken a drop of it since last June.

perhaps niy letter would relieve lots and lots of other people. Again I

the T. M, C. A. Bed Trlan'le fund
were cona'derabty short of the amount
of $«600 which Nelson has been asked
to-iilse.
.^Nelson enjoys an enviable reputation for Its showing in ra'slng money
for patriotic work end It would be a
pity If that reputation were n*t lived
up to In the case of a fund which Is
fulfilling such a splendid purpo-e as
the Y, M. C. A. Bed Tr'angle fu"d.
..There is yet time In which to raise
the balance of tho money required,
.especially as a number of the large
firms with headquarters In other centres have, not been heard' frcm.
Great work was done by the canvassers who were out yesterday ur.d
Tuesday, but it is necessary for the
effor's to secure subscriptions.to be extended, If It Is at all pcBS'ble, by the
assistance of addltioal workers. A
lot of people have yet to be seen.
■'.'Canvassers are .needed today. Why
not offer your services at the Red Triangle committee rooms in the McCulloch blook? . Nelson must not fall
short of Its allotment.
.-:... UNFORTUNATE  RUSSIA.
Descriptions of the Intense sufferings which are being undergone by the
Russian people as a consequence of
the demoralized conditions of government which exist in that coun'ry display a situation even worse than the
most, pessimistic of prophets looked
for.
.But they are not surprising. No people can live In comfort u lets under a
atrong government. Even an autocrat c government's better than none
at; all. Peoples wh.ch have exper.enced
the bless ngs . of true liberty can be
happy only under a democratic gov-
ei- nibnt, a government by the consent
arid will of the governed, and it Is
suih a government that the frl.nds of
Russia hope it wilt soon be able to establish.
Russia is now passing through tho
truns.tio'n'stage. From extreme autocracy it passed to extremes of license,
a license which the misguided people
mistook for liberty. This license will
ultimately consume Itself, and it is to
be hoped, be replaced with a government wh.ch will be a real governm.nt,
but which will at the same time give
tiie liberty which It Is tne right and
privilege of mankind to enjoy.
try." And then observe the last words
of the letter, "the line is more valuable
than my life."
Sir Robert concludes In commenting
upon this remarkable letter by saying:
"I am sure that this letter does Indeed express the spirit of the Canadian people, and as long as that spirit
endures, and I am confident It will
always endure, we need have no fear
for the destiny of our country whether
in this war or after the war."
Just ln case it should have been
forgotten: Von Hindenburg prom'sad
the German people that he would be
In Paris by April 1.
Another canard has been killed hy
investigation, The United States
troops overseas are not suffering from
a shortage of machine guns.
Aliens who were granted exemption
under the War Times Election act are
now being called up to give tho service to the country provided for in
that measure.   That Ib good business.
If the Red Triangle fund total ls not
reached today the campaign might
with advantage be continued for another day or two tn order that the
number of persons who have not been
Interviewed may be as small as possible,
Tho greatest credit is due to the
members of tho Y. M. C. A. Red Triangle committee who. have given so
much of their time and energy to the
organization of the campaign and the
collection of money. Their work ls
worthy of the cause ln which It ls
pledged.
If n Red Triangle canvasser does
lot happen to call upon you send In
your subscription to the treasurer, A.
I. McLean, and pledge for further payments at Intervals. The boyB overseas look to the people at home to provide tho funds necessary to enable the
Y. M. C. A. to supply the refreshments they need as they come from
the trenches. These refreshments aro
supplied free. It. is only behind the
lines that the Red Triangle charges
for its service in this way.

But They Didn't,
The details of the stand by British
Guards regiments backed up against
the Forest of Nieppe seem to show
lhat tho Germans were within a hairs-
breadth of an actual complete break
through there. Three battalions.had to
hold hordes of Germans for two days
and two nights to allow relief to como
up. That Indicates that the British
were surprised by the German success in smashing through the Portuguese front, and only the dogged valor
of a few thousand Guardsmen saved
the day.—Toronto Mall and Empire.

THE POTATO PATCH
Every prospective gardener must
concentrate on potatoes this year.
The most suitable soil for the tubers
Is a rich, deep, friable, y-arm sandy
loam with good natural moisture and
an adequate supply of decayed or decaying vegetable matter. The warmest and best drained soils that can be
obtained should be chosen and the
sets should be planted shallow, so that
they will get the advantage of the
heat from the surface soil.
May 18 is time enough to plant your
potatoes but in the meantime bo preparing your soil. Get it as mellow as
possible. To obtain enough food to
produce 20 or 30 bushels of tubers a
small patch of ground must take up
and evaporate through the leaves tons
and tons of water. This water holds
the plant food ln solution. Your soil
does not hold water and It should he
your task to make it do this. The
more like a sponge you can make It
the better, providing the water ln it
does not become stagnant If you add
plant food to a physically fit or
sponge-like soil, good growth is bound
to res ilt. Tho value of stable manure
is that it makes the soil physically fit
and supplies some food at the same
time. '-'•■'.)

Germany has given a fine illustration of her intentions with respect to
the small independent states of Europe.
The Ukrainians declared their Independence of Russia and welcomed the
Germans to their territory. Now Germany has shown her fangs. Tho Ukrainian government has been deposed

substituted. There is something so
Germanesque about it all.—Calgary

ARMY TO FIGHT
THE MOSQUITO PEST
WASHINGTON.—Immediate measures to stamp out mosquito pest ln
regions surrounding southern army
camps win be taken by the army and
medical corps. The war department
approved a suggestion that army funds
be made available tor the purpose, setting aside the legal difficulty of using
these funds for sanitary work outside
army posts. First efforts of the medical corps will be centered about the
southern camps and cantonments,
where the rainy spring season has
brought an early appearance of malaria
carrying mosquitoes.
(By Capt. J. A. F. Ozanne.)
On the occasions when British
troops are on the defensive one Invariably hears complaints from a certain section of the public to the effect
that the authorities keep back information. They allege that during an
advance full reports as to progress
made are received frequently, but that
during a retreat official Information
is very tardy in reachirg tho home
press; in fact the old proverb that bad
news travels post haste and good news
follows afoot has been reversed so far
as this war is concerned. The inference drawn from this ls that the authorities treat the public much as a
nurse would treat an Invalid, and that
they del.berately withhold bad news
on tho ground that It might upset the
people.
Now, this inference is not Justified
In reality, and a little calm reflection
shows that it cannot be Justified. It
is obvious that the'authorities could
not hope to conceal the Icbs of a posl-'
tion or town, or village for any length
of time, and common sense tells one
that if the public has to know sooner
or later it is as well that the public
should know at once. The authorities,
of course, recognize this, and therefore they acquaint the public with tho
whole facts Just as soon as they themselves know it. t
Get Enemy Report First
How, then, ls it that one occasionally reads of British losses In a German communique before these appear
ln the BritlBh communique? The
reason is that the German genc.al
knows three very imporiant things.
He knows when he is goin to attack,
he knows the point at which he is going to launch his attack, and he also
knows what his objectives are. As
soon as a position has been tai.cn, or
his troops have set foot in a village,
the result ls at once telephoned to
him, and the report goes back through
the usual channels until It reaches tho
man ln the street.
The British general, on the other
hand, does not know whether tho
withdrawal is temporary and whether
the position is to be restored, how it
affects or will affect the rest of tho
adjacent line, and a host of oth-r essential details. It would be munifcs.ly
absurd lo report the loi>s of a position because the enemy has s..c*.eoUed
in obtaining a tempo, ary footing, for
he may be driven out within un nour.
For the same reason it ls tnvcsslb.e
for the British general under these
circumstances to obtain uecu.aie in-,
formation concerning the numbor of
prisoners or the number of guns captured by the enemy.

1.—The Victory.
It was twelve mo.iths aeo.   The April
sun
Was not yet risen from his cloud-girt

And many a sentry stood with nodding
head,
Thinking another long nlvht's watch
was done;
When   suddenly   from   every   deep-
voiced gun
Broke  forth a savage,  ra ice us  roar
. and sped
Tho shrieking shell,    and   over   all
there spread
Confusion. and   destruction,    sparing

It was twelve months ago.   The April
stars
Withheld their   radiance   from    that
stricken field,
Whereon th'  Insatiate,  gory hand of
Mars
Had gleaned so swift, so plentiful a
yield,
So might It seem that on the   Vimy

Brute lust of empire reaped lis heritage.

ONE BY HAIG
It Is, of course, well known that Sir
Douglas Haig is a soldier first, last
and all the time, regarding, all other
professions as of quite negligible importance, a trait in his character
which lends point to this anecdote.
He waB, It appears, inspecting a
cavalry troop, and was particularly
struck with the neat way in which repairs had been made in some of the
saddles.
"Very good work," lie remarked to
tho troop sergeant-major. "Who did
it?"
"Two of my troopers, sir," was tho
reply.
"Your're fortunate to have two such
expert saddlers in your troop," said
Haig,
"As a matter of fact, sir," was the
reply, "they're not saddlers, In civil
life- being lawyers."
"Well," ejaculated Sir Douglas,
"how men who can do work like that
oould have wasted their lives over
law I can't Imagine."

POTATO FLOUR MILL
BUILT  IN  IDAHO  FALLS
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho.—The building in this city of what in said lo be
tho first potato flour mill in the United States has made what is felt by
many to bo an appropriate setting to
this little city of -S0OO people, seeing
that no loss than two-thirds of southern Idaho's annua! crop of 7000 cars
of potatoes is raised in tho 70-mile
stretch of productive. Irrigated 'und'
in the upper Snake river valley, in the
centre of which Idaho Falls Is located.
That tho mealy, floury quality of
this. Idaho potato was recognized by
Oermany a number of years ago Is evidenced by tho fact that during tho
o0 years prior tn 1914, when shipments
were, of course cut. off by the wur,
several million pounds are declared to
have been Imported Into that country
for tho factories making potato flour
and other potato products there, which
had greatly Increased In number during thoso years,
A man who had observed this growth
In Germany, endeavored to interest
capital In the United States with a
view to the establishment hore of a potato food products factory, which would
help supply the shortage of potato
flour and from which 'ultimately an
Industry might bo built up to supplant
tho imported article, He worked for
throo years and finally succeeded in
accomplishing his purpose, whon ho
fnterosted an Idaho financier, who,
after being shown statistics as to tho
Imports and other facts pertaining to
tho enterprise, started him out with Instructions to locato the mill at the
point most favorable to steady production of high grade potatoes.
Such a location had already been
decided upon during his throe years of
study and investigation and in October,
1917, tho erection of a mill was begun
and tiio order for the machinery given.
Uy the first of January of this year
the plant was ready for tho machinery,
which is now installed and ready for
operation, .    	
Reducing 32,000-pounds of raw potatoes to 700 pounds of flour overy day
Is tho work laid out for tills mill. Five
to 10 por cent of this flour is all, It hj
learned lhat can bo used in a loaf of
bread and Biich an amount is said to
make tho bread moro palatablo and to
keep it longer In good condition.
On potatoes at 75 eonts por 100
pounds, which, until 19t7, was considered an excellent prlco to tho grower In
this valley, it is ostimated that tho mill
can mako its profit and put ftom* on
tho cars here for 4% cents por pound.
In this connection it might bo interesting lo noto. that tho Swedish government has offered to furnish one-
hnlf the capital to any of its citizens
who wilt erect and put in operation
potato flour mills and from good authority it is learned,' that this offer is
being taken up,
WASP  SAVED  TOMATOES
Thu despised'"mud dauber," a well
known species of wasp, is credited
with saving a prop of tomatoes and
other vegetables on the farm of
Thomas Egler, according to the New
Orleans       Picayune. Observation
showed that only overripe fruit was
punctured by tlie insect and that tho
wasp kept the plants clear of every
Insect and caterpillar pest during :i
trying season.

"No Needles to change"
YOUR full enjoyment of iny
phonograph played with
steel needles is marred by your
constant state of watchfulness to
change needles.
Furthermore a steel needle with its
sharp point digs into the record,
wearing both record and _ needle.
A genuine polished sapphire ball
glides smoothly into the grooves. It
is permanent and does not wear the
record (a Pathe Record will play
at least 1000 times without impairment).
A steel needle has one  point of
contact  with   the   record—limited
contact, limited sound waves.
A sapphire ball touches the record
Jr. groove  at  40   points—and  every
delicate shading of the original
music is faithfully recorded.
If you are planning to buy a phonograph,   hear   the   Pathephone.   If
you already have a phonograph, it
^j, can be easily equipped to play Pathe
"mwuit>tt*}r Records.

Select yours today.
Fruit experts of Pentieton expect.the.
hoavlest crop of soft fruits this year
that the district has yet seen.
Apricots will be abundant and the
same can be said of peaches If May
Indications hold good. Apples will be
up to the average yield. Plums and
prunes will be heavy.
A somewhat sharp frost visited.the
district a week ago and caught some'
of tho newly formed Blng cherries.
Here and there apricots were touched,
as well but the loss will hot be marked.
Ten per cent loss would cover the
ilierrles and 6 per cent on the aptlcots.
Many growers consider that the frost
lid ho harm at all and'in fnct rtierciy
served to thin out tho fruit In the blossom stage, thus saying work later,. !
The continued dry weather Is causing a little anxiety although there Is
ilenty of water coming down the,
uountaln creeks. However, rain would
bo welcome now to bring on'the-neV
clover and vegotable crops,'.'''
Taken on the whole, unless conditions show a marked change between
now and the shipping seaBon the Pentieton district—and' the name can be
said of the whole qkanogan—willp'rob-!
ably have the best year In Its history.
It: Is believed that apple prices will Me
as high this year as-last. . ' "Jl
Cot Prices Mount.'
Cot prices are mounting dally with
the keen competition between the various buying organizations, CO's now
call for 6 dents a "pound, which ,'»'. a
record price oven for No. 1'. Last year's
best figure was 4*4 cents and even
then the growers thought the.returns
exceptional, considering that in. the
old days, thoy were lucky, to receive
2 cents a pound.
Peaches will likely bring as high as
■I cents this year compnred with .3
last season.
Frost has cut down the Yakima and,
Wenatcheo soft, fruit output hence .the
abundant crop in southern Okanagan
will, be doubly remunerative', to. the
growcre. ,   .    ...   i
Pentieton Cannery.
The only unfortunate feature in the
local situation is the possibility,that
the cannery may not be, able to operate on account ,of tho high soft fruit
prices. In caao the plant1 in iSmt'ctqn
is not kept going through the season,
It Is said to be the Intention of the
western canners to ship their local
purchases of fruit to their cannery In
Kelowna.- . ;-,■,). .;   ,

SUPREME COURT
HEARSWEST CASES
Rehearing la Argued In Case of Victoria City vs. Frances
.-   McKay
. (By, Dally News Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA,' May 8.—In the supreme
court today rehearing was argued in,
;(he -case; qf the 'Corporation of the
'City of Victoria vs. Frances J. McKay.
This Is an appeal from a judgment ot
the" courtj ;of appeals of British
Columbia dismissing an appeal on a
case' stated submitted by the arbitrators.   , ■
! In May, 1911, the appellant passed
a bylaw purporting to expropriate
-ertain lands"' ot respondent in order
to widen Douglas street. The bylaw
was registered in .the offices of the
bounty -court' for the district of Victoria, but was not published in the
British Columbia Gazette nor in a
newspaper published in the municipality; according to tho Municipal
Clauses' act of 1906. ' The appellant
corporation wished to abandon tbe expropriation and raised objection to
proceeding before the arbitrators, who
illowed,respondent's claim of $7500
tor his land. The question on the appeal is whether or'not there ever was
i valid; bylaw. The case was reserved
"or judgment.
C. A. McDIarmtd for the appellant;
Mr. McLean, K.C., for the respondent.
,' ' Two Other Appeals
|., Two appeals in the case of S. Kom-
tnlck System Machinery company and
the British Columbia Pressed Brick
company 'were ' heard' together. The
appellant is ah extra-provincial company and "brought action In tho supreme ' court of British Columbia
against tlie respondent in respect of
■i certain contract for the installation
of certain machinery.,
The local judge. dismissed the action-on the merits;- but the appeal to
the court of appeal for British Columbia was dismissed on the ground that
the appellant had not been licensed
pursuant, to the Companies act then
iforce. By an amendment to the
Companies aet it- waB provided that
:ini extra-provincial company, In such
oases as above, should be entitled to
maintain anew such action. Applications were made by the appellant to
the trial judge for an order granting
the appellant leave .to proceed with
the action notwithstanding restrlc-
lons Imposed by the War Relief act.
I'he trial Judge made the order asked
i'or and upon appeal by the respondent
this, order was reversed',
II. J. Scott, K.C., for appellant;
Chrlsler, K.C., for respondent.
Judgment was reserved.
Isay Piilegulck's attempt to,smug,
glo two dozen bottles of liquor into
the Dominion by hiding.it In a baby
buggy undor the infant..daughter of
Mrs. Aijnlo Mooser, ended ln his being fined $207.50 in tlie polico court
in Walkoi'Vllle for violating the Ontario Temperance act.

In 1017, a season of extreme drought,
a field of wheat on corn land at Brandon ylolded 28 bushels to the acre, a
field of summer fallow nearby yielded
I 1-3 bushels per acre. In tlllC the
corresponding fields In the same rotation yielded '10 bushels per aero on the
corn land and 32 bushels per acre on
summer fallow. These are not exceptional canes- but aro quite" tho ordinary
result obtained. Not only lu tho yield

by the substitution, of corn, but the

Weeks Late, But Enjoys the  .
Smokes in Hospital
"I think the city of Nelson has
something to be proud of and there
qan't be many young men left there.
She has certainly done her duty In
every respect," ls the inessago of
Thomas Chatterton in a lettor to the
Elks lodge. Ho wont from Nelson
with the first contingent. "Tom" Is
now in the King's Canadian special'
hrsplt 1, Bushy, park, Hampton Hill,
Middlesex.   He says:
"Thank you all for your kind remembrance of mo at Christmas. I
have Just received tho parcel and I
can assure you I will appreciate It
especially as it is from home. The
cigars were a little damaged but I
managed to get a good smoko out of
them.
"I am on tho staff here now and I
have been here Just a year. I like it
fine and my wound is thoroughly
healed but I am bothered with lumbago when the weather Is wet. I expect they will soon send us all back
to France and I can assure you that
this war has only commenced, so If
you have any young men, which 1
don't think our city has, send them
out and they will he mado uso of.
"Just imagine me being away from
home since 1914, It does seem a long
time and I seem to t4nk at times that
they are going to keep me here. That's
the best of being an old soldier. Mrs.
Chatterton sends me The Daily News
every week and it is a Godsend.
Billy Hamilton was knocked down and
killed about Christmas time. I saw
him the week previous and he looked
the picture of health. Has "Sammy"
Mites arrived home yet or Fred Kemp,
who used to work with J. J. Walker?
They have both left this hospital for
Canada,
"We are rationed very closely and
sometimes cannot get matches. We
used to pay 3 cents a dozen boxes for
them In the years gone by, but now
they are a penny a box and some
places twopence. But we don't care
as long as our boys in tho trenchos
are well looked after.
"Has anyone heard of George Peaso
or L. Crulckshank- Tlie last time I
saw them was before we went into
action at Festubert on May 21, 1915.
I was glad to hear that the Elks are
still alive and wish them every success,".

RAILWAY PAY
Board   Recommends  Increase  for  All
Employees Receiving Leas Than
SI260 Menthly.
(By Dally News Leased Wlro.)
Washington, May s;—ah railroad employees whose monthly pay in
December, 1915, wns less than $250 a
month, have been recommended for
wage increases by tho wage board.
The recommendation, if adopted by
Secretary McAdoo would give the
Workers $100,000,000 in back pay to
Jan. 1 and would add $288,013,718 to tho
payroll bb of 1)117, an Increase of 15,08
per cent.
Wage advances proposed, however,
do not represent net Increases over
existing pay, but aro based on the
month of December, 1915. In other
words,- any Increases which may-have
been, allowed by industrial roads since
that time must be deducted. In Borne
cases deductions will almost, If not
altogether, cover the increases suggested, according to tho reports. Tho
roads themselves during 1916 and. 1917
increased wages an amount equivalent to $360,000,000 if applied to tho
present number of employees.'
